Blue, Mr Soul, Between Clark and Hilldale and Woman In Love are the best covers i think.

This seems like an opportune moment to list the songs the band has covered. Please add any others you can think of!
I Walked All Night (Hargus "Pig" Robbins) Blue Shadows (Randy Newman) Blue (Rain Parade) Pretty Ballerina (The Left Banke) Mr Soul (Neil Young) Sail On Sailor (Beach Boys) Woman In Love (Barbra Streisand) Move Closer (Phylis Lelson) Beat On The Brat (The Ramones, although The Bluetones claim it on A Rough Outline) That’s Life (just about everybody) Theme From Minder Call The Shots (Girls Aloud) Between Clark and Hilldale (Love) Waterfalls (TLC) I'm Over And I Know It (Webb Brothers) Expecting To Fly (Buffalo Springfield)
Did they actually do “Is That Love”?

Are we talking recorded covers or ones they've played live? Seem to remember them doing 'Call the Shots' one time in Edinburgh just before Mark toured his solo album (and did it solo too) I'm sure there must be more from the live sets but my favourite is the correct one, BLUE

Good one Jo - unique in that it has been played by MM, the Tones and by Mark and the whatevers (Mamas?). they did waterfalls by tlc on re-covered,and at leeds town and country in 96 a snippet of bodycount in recognition of the recently deceased ice t,i kid you not! sadly instrumental! Ice T is fucking good on Special Victims Unit considering he's dead!

I know it's not Mambas - that's Marc Almond.
